Column diameter

This specific unit features a 300 mm diameter column; other Axichrom systems typically range from 100 mm to 2000 mm.

Column length

This specific unit features a 300 mm column length; for this class of equipment, column lengths are commonly adjustable or available in various fixed sizes.

Control system

The Axichrom Master 300-1000 Control Tower provides automated control for column packing and operation.

Typical operating pressure

For this class of chromatography equipment, operating pressures are typically in the range of 5-20 bar, depending on the resin and application.

Materials of construction

Commonly, wetted parts are made from biocompatible materials such as 316L stainless steel and various polymers suitable for pharmaceutical processes.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard industrial electrical supply, often 230V or 400V, 3-phase, with appropriate amperage for the control tower and associated pumps.

Footprint

The combined footprint of the control tower and column can vary, but typically requires a dedicated area in a cleanroom or processing facility.
